Huh? Near the floor? What is wrong with you? I put mine on a tv stand no where near the floor.
I've got the 120 inch version with 10 foot ceilings. Mine requires positioning about 18 inches off the floor. It could have been higher, but then it's not at ideal viewing height.

Thanks for the reply. Room is brand new and empty,so I am starting from scratch. I can do both kind of projectors. Probably the question should be whether UST is worth the hassle compared to normal projectors.
IMO
100" = Hisense or TCL TV
120" = UST. Should be on a 15" stand or shorter.
135+= Standard projector. Also needs to be in a light controlled room.

If I had to do it over, I wouldn't have bought a UST. I like mine, but would do something different in the space.

Re: UST vs TV, another thing to consider is fan noise. I have an Epson Ls800 which can get very bright but at the same time, it will also get quite noisy. I have a dedicated media room that's light controlled, so it's not a problem for me (ie I don't need the projector to be at its highest brightness). But I would not used it in a living room during the day, although it's bright enough for that, it will be too loud.

For a media room, it's so much nicer to have a projector than having a TV. You can turn the room completely dark and the light from the projector lights up the room. When movie scene changes the light changes color and brightness across the entire room, it just feels 100% like an authentic movie theater experience. (Also get a good surround sound system with atmos, obviously.)

To have the screen low enough or what?

Correct. At correct viewing angles, with minimum eye strain, it puts the screen about 2.5 feet off the ground and 2.5 feet from the ceiling. (eyeballing this today)

So is the concensus to skip this? Seems like a great deal to me at this price point.

My personal experience. I have had a 120l5f since it first came out. I basically had to plan the room around the projector.

I had to get a stand low enough so that the screen wasn't so high. Had to get dual subwoofers not too deep or tall since they would be in the front and not want to block the laser path.

It's not a dedicated theater, so I couldn't put the center channel behind the screen to get it at the right level, and I don't remember if there was an acoustically transparent alr screen at the time.

I have my center mounted on speaker stands right above the ust, so it does not block line of sight of the screen and not block the laser path.

At the time when I planned the room, there was nothing close in price to a 120 inch projector. Largest commercial TV at the time was the lg 86 inch screen.

Also, the larger 100 inch TVs are heavy and depending on your house layout, might be difficult to move around.

If you were deciding between a 100 in ust or 100 in TV, TV all the way for picture quality. You really need a blacked out room for a ust, no ifs and or buts. If you are going for 120 inch or bigger, you have no other option but projector. Only you can determine if the extra 20 inch diagonal compared to a 100 inch TV is worth it to you.

I have a 77 inch s90c also. Picture quality is amazing. But watching movies on a 120 inch screen is a whole different animal.

Please do not buy any Hisense TV. I've bought LG, Sony, Samsung, Toshiba. Hisense was literally the worst tv I've ever owned by a mile! I was fortunate that I could see how bad it was before my return window closed. I'm also not the only one, I've seen countless people share that they have horrible experiences with Hisense.

I have 3 Hisense TVs and 1 UST. One of them is in a low use area, going on 2 years that has been fine. I have an h6510g that gets used a lot. Still good after 3-4 years. The ust is low use and still fine after 3-4 years.

I have an 55H9G. That one failed after a couple months. Replaced by Hisense, easy process. The replacement failed just a couple months after the 3 year warranty.

Gonna be using Xbox one S for 4K Blu-ray playback in a 11x10 feet room. Will this setup be OK? Or should I just get a conventional throw projector setup?
My Epson 2150 HAD to go at least 12' back to get on a 100" screen, at the most "zoomed-out.". Fine for.my.room - I needed really close or really far away, but you will need.to check throw lengths. I can't imagine anyone would want the projector in the ceiling in front, above, or even close behind them tho... which is what you will end up with in a 11' room.

Check specs, decide. At 10' wide you could go bigger than 100" ... if everything else is inplace

I've had zero issues with the many I've owned. Some are very budget model.

Is the L8G the same as L9G spec wise? I can't find any decent reviews/comparisons between L8G vs L9G/PX1 pro. Thanks.
